. . . If the health center in your village is empty, no borehole and potholes everywhere, Mama Tega, the question starts at home, not Aso Rock. Papa Ngozi Ask your LGA Chairman and Councillors first. That’s where that money was sent.
At a Lagos lecture honoring Wole Soyinka, a professor dropped a hard truth: Nigeria’s journalism crisis isn’t in newsrooms. It starts in classrooms — and in a civic space quietly closing.

“Water no get enemy.”
In 1975, Fela Anikulapo Kuti turned an old Yoruba saying into a groove. Water is life’s first necessity, the proverb goes. No one in their right mind picks a fight with it.
However, in 2026, it seems Nigerians have forgotten that powerful adage. In this special Investigative spotlight, we uncover the water saboteurs.

OPED: Nigeria spends billions on security annually, yet Boko Haram, banditry, and kidnapping still define daily life for millions. Why? At a recent Association of Nigerian Authors event for retired Rtd. Gen. Lucky Irabor’s new book, Scars, the answer from military experts, academics, and students was clear: Nigeria does not lack capable officers. It lacks money, political will, and a civil-military contract that matches them.
In this opinion, journalist and political analyst Armsfree Ajanaku reports from the Abuja book reading and uses it as a lens on Nigeria’s macro risk. He argues that insecurity is now an economic problem: abandoned farms drive food inflation, disrupted supply chains raise logistics costs, and kidnapping risk chokes FDI. Drawing on testimony from Gen. Irabor and senior professors, Ajanaku makes the case that until Nigeria treats security as core infrastructure — with credible budgets, transparent funding, and real use of military expertise in governance — growth targets will remain fiction.
Timely, policy-focused, and grounded in on-the-ground reporting, this piece speaks directly to LightRay!’s readers tracking Africa’s risk, commodities, and governance.
